πῶς ἂν οὖν εἴησαν κατὰ τὴν διαμαρτυρίαν υἱεῖς ἔτι τινὲς τῷ Ἀρχιάδῃ, ᾧ οἱ μὲν εἰσποιηθέντες ὁμολογοῦνται ἐπανεληλυθέναι, ὁ δʼ ἐγκαταλειφθεὶς τελευταῖος ἄπαις τετελεύτηκεν; οὐκοῦν ἀνάγκη τὸν οἶκον ἔρημον εἶναι. ὁπότε δὲ ἔρημος ὁ οἶκος, οὐκ ἂν εἴησαν υἱεῖς ἔτι ἐκείνῳ γνήσιοι. οὑτοσὶ τοίνυν διαμεμαρτύρηκεν τοὺς οὐκ ὄντας εἶναι, καὶ γέγραφεν ἐν τῇ διαμαρτυρίᾳ ὄντων παίδων, ἕνα φάσκων αὑτὸν εἶναι.
